    I'm playing with classic. Kinda wish default worked better because I don't like virtual stick/buttons all that much for controlling things, particularly when I've already played it on platforms with real stick/buttons.

    The lack of manual aiming is the biggest issue so far, especially for someone relying heavily on the Breaker Bow.

    Playing with the classic controls as well and finding them to work just fine other than the auto targeting which can cause some problems.

    First experience with the game and I am loving it. Must say when I first heard the narrator I thought "The dude abides in the bastion" but after playing a while he has grown on me. Certainly adds a funky dimension to an already funky game.

    Assuming it is the same as on other platforms could someone tell me approximate gameplay length?

    iirc it was around 12 hours, having done most of the little optional quests. Could probably knock it out in under 6 if you just blasted through.

    Thanks. Since I am in no hurry to finish it looks like there is plenty of enjoyment ahead.

    There are multiple endings too. Not a lot of them but they will make you stop and think and you'll want to replay to see the other side.

    Crazy to think what you get for $5 in the world of iOs gaming. So many quality titles selling for a pittance. Not that I am complaining.

    To think, that for $10 you can get both Aquaria and Bastion...ridiculous.

    Sadly, It is NOT available ever on ASIA part same as 'scribblenauts remix' and other few apps :(. You need to use other alternative to play these games i.e. via jailbreak you device.
